Outdoor Adventure 

Research Approach 

What they are wanting to see in this part of the coursework is if you can describe the activity and research where you can go to do it throughout the country. 

To do this we need to go over what everything means:

What is an Outdoor Adventurous Activity?

www.ardroy-oec.co.uk

What is the definition for an Outdoor Adventurous Activity?

What are the aims of an Outdoor Adventurous Activity?

Complete an introduction explaining what an OAA is and its aims. 

E.G.,  

An outdoor adventurous 

activity (OAA) is...  and has the 

aim of... 

Some examples are... 

to do this- input both definitions together.

This is a research approach assessment- meaning you will need to look into things yourself and make sure you record your findings. 

For that MB3- activities need to be describe with clear and relevant examples, including where you can do it. 

Split into two areas- regional and national- so need to remember to give both. 

What you need to research

You need to provide the national governing body for the activity (this will help with the next aspect of your work). 

You then need to suggest locations (regional and national) where each activity can be participated in. 

You also need to suggest organisations who lead sessions that you could participate in.

- Regional is classed as anywhere within 100 miles of school (NG19 0JX).

- National is classed as anywhere over 100 miles of school (NG19 0JX).

How will this be marked? 

- You've defined what an outdoor adventurous activity is and the aims of them. 

Split into two areas- regional and national- so need to remember to give both. 

This is a good introduction as they are wanting CLEAR descriptions within your work to get that MB3. 

You also need examples of where you can do this regionally - less than 100MILES of the school and nationally which is over 100miles of the school. 

Now we have set the scene (as you would say) we now need to go onto the main piece of work.
